If a father stops his daughter from getting married, is it permissible for her to conclude the marriage contract herself ?

Answered as per Shafi'i Fiqh by Darul Iftaa Jordan
If a father stops his daughter from getting married, is it permissible for her to conclude the marriage contract herself ?

Answer:
It is permissible for the father to stop his daughter from getting married if there was a lawful reason for that, and she isn`t allowed to conclude the marriage contract without her guardian. However, if her father denied her right in getting married for an unlawful reason, then she should go to court.
